The use-case I had in mind was a simple measured boot,
no user-space applications, only to measure already signed modules
which are already signed by modsig
using a single policy line:

measure func=MODULE_CHECK

I thought for this purpose, we could just compile in the default
template to be modsig but it wasn't
selectable.

I have overlooked the policy rule "template=",
In the above use-case, it also just works to set the policy:

measure func=MODULE_CHECK template=ima-modsig

So, your are right maybe that is not necessary.

Michael
